SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Large Trader Reporting for Physical Commodity Swaps, (OMB 
Control No. 3038-0095). This is a request for extension of a currently 
approved information collection.
    Abstract: Part 20 of the Commission's regulations (``Reporting 
Rules'') requires clearing organizations and any persons that are 
``reporting entities'' to file swaps position data with the Commission. 
The Reporting Rules require each clearing organization to submit 
clearing member reports to the Commission. The Reporting Rules also 
require each reporting entity to submit position reports to the 
Commission that indicate the reporting entity's principal and 
counterparty positions in cleared and uncleared physical commodity 
swaps. Reporting entities are persons that are either ``clearing 
members'' or ``swap dealers'' that are otherwise not clearing members. 
For purposes of part 20, reporting parties are required to submit data 
on positions on a futures equivalent basis so as to allow the 
Commission to assess a trader's market impact across differently 
structured but linked derivatives instruments and markets. This renewal 
updates the total requested burden based on available reported data.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. On February 24, 2021, the 
Commission published in the Federal Register notice of the proposed 
extension of this information collection and provided 60 days for 
public comment on the proposed extension, 86 FR 11267 (``60-Day 
Notice''). The Commission did not receive any comments on the 60-Day 
Notice.
    Burden Statement: The Commission is revising its estimate of the 
burden for this collection. The respondent burden for this collection 
is estimated to be as follows:
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 5,088.
    Estimated Average Burden Hours per Respondent: 12.86.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 65,412.
    Frequency of Collection: On Occasion.
    There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs 
associated with this collection.

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

    Dated: May 14, 2021.
Robert Sidman,
Deputy Secretary of the Commission.
